This song was a collaboration between Band Maid and guitarist Mike Einziger of Incubus. Their new album out this summer is supposed to contain a number of collabs with western artists.
is song was co written with Mike Einziger founder of Incubus. they met at Pointfest Festival last year in St Louis and became friends. last night in Japan BAND-MAID were special guests of Incubus and Mike Einziger performed the song Bestie with the Maids for a world live premiere during their opening act. The Maids have a new album dropping in the summer. I think we will get the date of the release on May 10 when they do the annual Day Of Maid event where they put on a special show and usually make future announcements. also I expect a collab with The Warning as they are doing a special show with BAND-MAID on June 12 in Japan during the Warning Japan tour. cheers
That's ok. We can hear it, and most of us have seen the video now about 100 times. 😂 Good luck with the docs, and I am sure you will have plenty of takers to help you with live streaming, and maybe Twitch. ! 🕊️ Po!
Thank you Princesses Annabelle for the great reaction. Crazy how good they are...even making the stuff written for them early in their career work. Keep on the Band-Maid journey. I also hope you are well and wishing you all the best. PO!🕊
May the message behind this song serve as a balm to you and your loved ones as you recover from your infirmity. All the best to you as you continue your exquisite Band Maid journey ! They have been a wonderful tonic to me for three years now ! ♥️😁
I don't know what your diagnosis is but, I've been there. My hopes are directed your way, Annabelle. Also, thank you for reacting to my favorite band BAND-MAID.
Sincerely, thank you for saying that. It’s tough having health issues. I’ve had problems for years but they seemed to be resolved in 2023. It’s hard experiencing this type of deal again
Thank you for the well wishes! 😭 PiP was the whole reason I tried using that weird application StreamYard. Alas, I will try again on another video after I’ve learned more
No problem with the video not coming through; we’ve all seen it. Yes, it’s incredibly visually pleasing!! And our Maids became wispy Angels!! 👼 😂. They occasionally forego the Maid “battle armor” when doing something lighter than their typical frenzied hard rock. Showing their more vulnerable side, I suppose. A great collaboration with Mike Eizinger of Incubus! He joined them onstage tonight (Tokyo time - morning in US) to perform the song with them. Next? - “Daydreaming” - OMV - “Wonderland” - official LIVE - “Dice” - OMV Take care 👏🏼🎸🥁🎤🎹🎼😎✌🏼
Thank you for sharing time with the Maids again 😂 Bad songs? Of course. But it’s due to the fact that Band Maid has the musical ability to create such a wide variety of music that one person can’t possibly like everything they do. The flip side is that the Maids have at least one song that will appeal to everyone. I would put this one clearly in that category. For a blues rock guy, “Bestie” is a bit outside my tastes. I’m a “Moratorium” and “Blooming” kind of Maidiac.
[Bestie, co-written by Michael Einziger of Incubus.] MISA's playing and bass tone are setting new standards... and Akane's drumming is so in-the-pocket and distinguishable... and Kanami's solo is Daydreaming masterful! The recording and mix are as enjoyable as the song. Miku, Saiki and Mikey-chan's English lyrics are heartfelt. "I can't look into your eyes." Is Band-Maid a band of fashion-forward, trend-setting Besties? 💞 Thx, Mikey & Band-Maid!
Thanks for checking out more from the Maids. Hope it's nothing serious with your health. I don't think it's a bad song, but I think The Dragon Cries is a poor fit for them. They generally have a very positive energy, and message in their lyrics. Like, don't let anybody tell you you can't achieve your dreams kind of stuff, and that song feels like a downer and kind of defeatist. But, just generally speaking, they have a high personal standard for their music. They say they've written bad songs, but they don't release them. Their work ethic really shows in the replay value of their songs, where you listen again and pick up on things that you missed on previous listens. For me, I feel like I have to give a song at least 6 listens to do it justice, like once focused on each member, and all together. There are some songs that I'm not into at first, but eventually, I end up thinking they were right, and I was wrong.
You rrally must listen to their official LIVE performances. They are incredible Live😍 some suggestions for live perfprmances is: Manners/Blackhole, Freedom, Morratorium, Hate just to give some ideas. Great reaction. I hope you feel better soon😊👍
Annabelle, this was one of the best official music videos for you to react to. The video shows Band-Maid's talent and musical versatility. I hope this video uplifts your spirits. It does mine. The video is both beautiful and angelic. If this is what heaven looks and sounds like, I'm going to have to clean up my act. Kanami's frills look like angels wings and her guitar riff takes me soaring into the heavens.
Indiana Jones dug hard and long, but was unable to find a bad Band-Maid song. He is now professor of Contemporary Super-Awesome Hard Rock Bands. He only teaches one subject now: Band-Maid 🤘
Many streamers use OBS streaming software which is open source. It allows you to do PIP and other functions. I hope your health issues are not too bothersome and easily and painlessly dealt with.
@@Annabellelinker Oh yeah, allergies. This time of year I should live in a bubble, haha. Thanks, I'll send you a link to the painting when it's done. Say hey to your folks for me. Talk to you later.

There’s a Day of Maid event? That’s cool! And coming up really soon. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for announcements
Saiki, the lead singer, holds for 16 beats (4 measures) over the guitar solo. She has incredible breath control.
I slept so much I am surprised you are drinking 😴
Oh no did the picture in picture video not work? Darn I have to figure that out!
That's ok. We can hear it, and most of us have seen the video now about 100 times. 😂 Good luck with the docs, and I am sure you will have plenty of takers to help you with live streaming, and maybe Twitch. ! 🕊️ Po!
We've all seen it a few times already so no problems.
This song was from their hearts. Imho it is beautiful.

Oo I have to check out that live video then! It was nice to see them in different costumes, I loved the white
Health is number one. Get well.
Thanks so much Ken! Working on getting back in tip-top shape. Hope you’re doing good!
I agree. Stay away from processed foods, drink lots of water, and get some kind of exercise every day. All you gotta do.
glad to see your reacting to Band Maid. I hope your okay as well. Thanks for the reaction.
Thank you! Hopefully I’ll get more answers tomorrow 🤞🏻
Well wishes coming your way from all us Maidiacs Annabelle. Listening to Band-Maid everyday will help in whatever is ailing you.

This sing is a total earworm... it's been in my head for days. Not that I'm complaining 😉
